  1. It is good that we are going to china. But I think it is too little too late. Look at other U-19 or U-16 teams. They play against international matches regularly.
    That is what we need. Last time we lost two close matches.That clearly shows lack of high level match practice.Don’t know why the AIFF doesn’t understand that. Once our age group teams start doing well then people will start showing interest in the game. we should host something like the weifang cup in India

  2. Unless, we introduce more club in district level and participation of school because every district & school have own infrastructures, give them good coaching with video clipping and organize regular tournament of Cash Prize then only India may get good player. or Academy like TATA, if they pick up boys from parents well heighted & physic and adopt and train them at the age of 6/7, then we may get good players.
